被写作支配的恐惧|GRE到底该怎么下笔？

首先我们要了解的是一篇写作的评分标准是什么，很多同学将自己认为的标准当做官方的评分标准，这是大错特错的，会让我们的写作越偏越远。那么这时候，如果你还不知道grader的打分标准，请一定打开官网，阅读这一段话。

官网给出的Scoring Guide for the argument task

官网给出的Scording Guide for the issue task

总结而言就是以下几点：

1、扣住instruction!

很多题目看起来很相似，但是instruction不同，那就是两篇要求完全不一样的写作，因此扣住instruction非常有不要，否则很可能就会跑题，导致低分。

2、topic sentence要写对

对于argument来说，一定要找到前提到结论非要不可的桥梁。不可以质疑前提，或者从结论出发。这个桥梁是什么意思呢，就是要找前提到结论非要不可的一个条件，如果这个条件不成立，前提对结论就没有支持力度。

而对于issue来讲，就是要找到一个体现深刻思考，并且逻辑严密的理由，作为段落的topic sentence. 如果理由本身没有说服力，就算后面努力给出很多论证，也依旧很难说服别人。对于issue来讲，最重要的，永远是说服力。

3、立足支撑点

支撑点是整篇文章的灵魂所在，你要会举出反例，并且反例要有足够的说服力，让别人觉得这个论点找的确实是滴水不漏。那么，对于issue来讲，给出强有力的支撑，就是要给出足够有支撑力，有细节，逻辑严密的论证。这里可以是说理论证，举例论证，数据统计等，原则就是，要对段落主题有足够的支撑，让人信服。

4、过渡自然

在GRE的评分中，过渡是一个非常重要的得分点，文章的逻辑连贯，非常需要起承转合等表达逻辑链条关系的词汇。文章的结构，通过这些linking words，应该是让人感受到一目了然的。句与句之间，段落与段落之间的关系，要交代的很清楚。

5、词汇、句式、语法

在GRE写作中，可能不会过分的要求你的语法多高级，句式多完美，它是允许你有一点点的小错误的。但是GRE 作为一个英语为载体的考试，就算有小错误，不可以影响到阅读。在不影响阅读的情况下，文章要有逻辑与说服力。但是，倘若文章语法错误百出，grader根本就很难读懂你的内容，那么，再好的内容，别人看不懂，看是没用的。

下面我们来看一篇高分范文吧。

题目：

As people rely more and more on technology to solve problems, the ability of humans to think for themselves will surely deteriorate.

Discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree with the statement and explain your reasoning for the position you take. In developing and supporting your position, you should consider ways in which the statement might or might not hold true and explain how these considerations shape your position.

高分范文解析：

The author of this essay stakes out a clear and insightful position on the issue and follows the specific instructions (一定要符合instruction)by presenting reasons to support that position. (清晰且富有洞察力的观点。这边如果过于肤浅的讨论,也是很难上4分的)The essay cogently(cogent, 有说服力)argues that technology does not decrease our ability to think for ourselves, but merely provides "additional time for people to live more efficiently." In fact, the problems that have developed alongside the growth of technology (pollution, political unrest in oil-producing nations) actually call for more creative thinking, not less.

In further examples, the essay shows how technology allows for the linking of ideas that may never have been connected in the past (like medicine and economic models), pushing people to think in new ways. Examples are persuasive and fully developed;(例子非常的有说服力，而且展开充分)reasoning is logically sound and well supported(逻辑推理严密，有说服力).

Ideas in the essay are connected logically, with effective transitions used both between paragraphs("However" or "In contrast to the statement")and within paragraphs(观点衔接真的是grader非常看重的). Sentence structure is varied and complex and the essay clearly demonstrates facility with the "conventions of standard written English (i.e., grammar, usage and mechanics)," with only minor errors appearing(句式多样性体现语言能力). Thus, this essay meets all the requirements for receiving a top score, a 6.
